OK, I have seen that SF is very active on this forum (unlike many
other companies' forums). Would any SF representative be kind to
enlighten us on this one. I believe this to be a key aspect of a
video editing program - are you working on implementing it?

Also; I would really like to have the possibility to have different
timelines ("stories") in the same project, and be able to copy
sections of a story from one "sequence" to another.

Best Regards

Helge ;-)

...fix these basic lack of functions (and a few more) and you have a
winner!

OH! OH! It looks like somebody's forgetting to take their happy pills!

L/R only audio is on the list for the next Vegas rev. For now, we
reccomend using Sound Forge for this. I agree it's needed for 2-mic
scenarios.

Did you know that you can copy files between open instances of Vegas?
Load a project in Vegas, open another copy of Vegas, and cut and
paste in between. This allows you to do "sequences", and all event-
level fx, switches, envelopes, etc will copy over.

This works great and can save you a lot of time IF and only if youre
projects are exactly the same....

If they are NOT exactly the same yet very similar, you can shuffle
the track order and add dummy tracks until they line up the same and
it STILL saves you quite a bit of time.

Even better would be to try what weve been requesting for a while and
have some sort of " mix template " support, where you could save and
call up presets of routing, fx, busses, settings, etc...

And even nicer to add to that, a patchbay....no joke
if you look at that wonderful neat-o Virtual Audio Cable utility,
maybe you could base something off that for a patchbay....that would
rule...

And while Im at it....what is going on with RTAS ?
